   Newbie: using VPn/PPTP for multiple Acti

   Hello,   
      
   Please pardon my ignorance, as this is a new field for me. One of my clients   
   would like to be able to remotely ActiveSync their Pocket PCs (over WiFi or   
   cellular network) to their respective XP Pro/Outlook workstations which are   
   currently behind a Linksys router w/NAT (BEFSR81). They do not have a server   
   capable of running Exchange and so I believe ActiveSync server is out of the   
   question. I've posted a message in the MS ActiveSync newsgroup and the   
   replies I got suggest that using VPN/PPTP might be a way to go.   
      
   To implement this, I understand that we would be replacing the current   
   router with one which supports VPN - and it sounds like we'd need one which   
   can support multiple sessions, right? If so, would this be a complex type of   
   configuration? Are there resources on the Web for setting this up?   
      
   Also, if anyone has some real-world experience with this kind of setup, I   
   would so appreciate your feedback.
